Lies Lies Lies

(Intro)
(Solo electric guitar, clean with a bit of reverb)
(Spoken - low, breathy)
Yeah... I heard the name.
Gabrielle.
Funny how "forever" has an expiration date I didn't know about.

(Heavy bass drops - mid-tempo, driving pop-rock beat)

(Verse 1)
Thirty days. 
That’s all the mourning you could spare?
I’m still breathing in your smoke, 
and you’re already catching air.
You called me the "summit," 
the view you’d never leave,
Now you’re hiking brand new trails 
with a heart up your sleeve.
I’m tracing every promise—
the ink is still wet,
While you’re busy rewriting 
the day that we met.

(Pre-Chorus)
(Music builds, snare hits get faster)
Is she a placeholder? 
Or just a distraction?
A way to ignore the chain reaction...
Of the bridge you burned while I was still crossing.

(Chorus)
How do you just walk away 
when I gave you the keys?
Left a crater in my chest, 
now I’m down on my knees.
You said I was the ceiling, 
that you’d never find better, (ha)
Then you traded in my soul 
for a brand-new sweater.
It’s just lies, lies, lies—playing on a loop,
I’m the original high, 
she’s just the follow-up scoop.
(Lies-Lies-Lies) (Lies-Lies-Lies)

(Verse 2)
Are you treating our three years 
like a dress rehearsal?
A black-and-white clip 
before the color commercial?
I built you a kingdom, 
I gave you the crown,
Now I’m the ghost in the hallways 
of our ghost town.
Does she know the "real" you, 
or just the edited version?
The one who skips the part 
about your heart’s quick conversion?

(Chorus)
How do you just walk away 
when I gave you the keys?
Left a crater in my chest, 
now I’m down on my knees.
You said I was the ceiling, 
that you’d never find better, (ha)
Then you traded in my soul 
for a brand-new sweater.
It’s just lies, lies, lies—
playing on a loop,
I’m the original high, 
she’s just the follow-up scoop.
 (Lies-Lies-Lies) (Lies-Lies-Lies)

(Bridge)
(Music strips back to just a pulse and a synth pad)
(Spoken)
She doesn’t know the code.
She’s a scenic bypass 
on a heavy, broken road.
You whisper her name 
where mine used to live,
But I gave you the things 
she doesn’t even have to give.
The silence you left 
is a physical weight,
I’m the prize you gave up... 
just a little too late. (A little too late)

(Guitar Solo)
(Distorted, melodic, echoing the vocal melody of the chorus)

(Chorus)
How do you just walk away 
when I gave you the keys?
Left a crater in my chest, 
now I’m down on my knees.
You said I was the ceiling, 
that you’d never find better,
Then you traded in my soul 
for a brand-new sweater.
It’s just lies, lies, lies—
playing on a loop,
I’m the original high, 
she’s just the follow-up scoop.
(Lies-Lies-Lies)

(Outro)
(Beat slows down, getting grittier)
I had you first. 
Let that sit in your head.
When the newness wears off 
and the fire is dead.
Lies, lies, lies...
(Music cuts to silence)
Hope she fits you well, 
Gabrielle. (Sound of kiss) (haha)
(Final heavy drum kick)
